Note that stutter varies a lot, so what you're experiencing is quite normal in that regard. It's not a matter of practice or a failing on your part - it's just stutter variance. Speech therapy is known to help a lot of stutterers. That's why it's so often recommended. But note that it's going to take effort - it's not like a visit to the car mechanic to get fixed. It's an ongoing process of maintenance and management (in truth, so is a car, but we don't have to stick to that metaphor too closely for our purposes). It's always sad to hear of people living in countries where this sort of thing isn't free for the citizens. If you can spare the money, it's a good investment. Just don't expect a "cure" - speech therapy aims to improve your control over your stutter. That's the goal. And as a separate track, general therapy might not be a bad thing either. All the mental turmoil developing over the years might take some untangling, which isn't something speech therapy is geared towards.   Detractors will tell you that speech therapy isn't worth it, of course. This is due to their own history of disappointment with it, where they've either expected something else, been impatient, not stuck around for long enough or had the misfortune to work with a therapist they weren't compatible with. And then I suppose there are those cases where the stutter is so severe that not much can be done. However, none of this should deter _you_ from trying. It's _your_ life and story, not theirs.
